This is a simple recipe for making sweetened condensed milk that is both dairy-free and made without refined sugar. It will not be quite as thick and sweet as the store-bought kind, but it does the job for dessert recipes that call for condensed milk such as my White Fudge.
The coconut milk adds a natural sweetness in addition to the honey. I find this condensed coconut milk to be very satisfying. In addition to dessert recipes, it can be added to smoothies, ice cream recipes, or turned into a sweet caramel sauce dessert topping.
This sweetened condensed coconut milk is used to make my SCD Magic Bars which are featured in my cookbook, Don’t Skip Dessert Volume 2.
